Chula Vista collision:
SAN DIEGO — One person was seriously injured in a suspected DUI-related traffic accident involving two vehicles Friday morning in Chula Vista, authorities reported.
The Chula Vista Police Department said several calls came in around 3 a.m. reporting a crash at the intersection of Telegraph Canyon Road and Paseo Ladera.
Responding officers found a driver trapped inside one of the vehicles at the intersection. Fire crews also arrived at the scene and were able to extricate the person, the department explained. That individual was transported to a local hospital, where they remain in critical condition.
Meanwhile, the other driver, a 19-year-old man from National City, sustained minor injuries and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said.
The names of the drivers have not been released at this time.
The Traffic Bureau was called to the scene to investigate the collision. Telegraph Canyon Road was temporarily closed between Heritage Road and Medical Center during that time. The area has since been reopened to traffic.
